Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a water spout for mounting in a recess in a wall.
  • Water outlets are known to which outlet pipes of different lengths can be attached in order to be able to compensate for variations in distance between the wall and the washbasin, or between the wall and the location of the drain in the washbasin, caused by installation.
  • the outflow pipes are usually available in three lengths: short, medium and long. This requires a large warehouse if all pipe lengths are to be available for each water outlet and is impractical during assembly, since the actual distance between the wall and the water outlet can only be determined during assembly. There is also the risk that none of the available pipe lengths actually have the desired length. In this case, an existing discharge pipe has to be reworked, which is time-consuming and causes additional assembly costs.
  • DE 10 2007 008 537 A1 discloses an adjustable water spout having the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • a water outlet according to the invention for installation in a recess in a wall comprises an inner tube designed as a flow tube, an outer tube designed as an outflow tube, the outer tube at least partially surrounding the inner tube.
  • the water outlet also includes a connection unit with a connection plate and with a screen, the inner pipe being arranged on the connection plate and the screen being arranged around the outer pipe at a distance from the connection plate.
  • the outer tube can be displaced along its longitudinal axis.
  • a fixation is provided with which a previously set relative position between the inner pipe and the outer pipe can be fixed, the fixation being arranged between the connecting plate and the cover. This construction allows a stepless adjustment of the distance between the end face of the panel, which is aligned essentially flush with the wall, and an outlet end of the outer tube. The distance can be adjusted on site and no additional discharge pipes are required to cover a large distance range.
  • the fixation is arranged on the inner pipe or on the outer pipe or the fixation is arranged on the connection unit.
  • any type of locking device or mechanism can be used in which the relative displacement of the outer tube with respect to the inner tube can be prevented.
  • a threaded hole can be provided in the outer tube, into which a screw can be screwed and with which the inner tube can be pressed in order to fix the outer tube with respect to the inner tube.
  • Other clamping elements which are arranged on the outer tube and press on the inner tube, are also possible.
  • the outer tube can be designed to be flexible and a clamping element can compress the outer tube, causing it to clamp onto the rigid inner tube.
  • the outer tube can be slotted to make it flexible.
  • the two parts of the outer tube adjoining the slot can be pulled together with a screw or a clamp which can engage on both sides of the slot.
  • This construction allows the installer good adjustability of the length of the spout and prevents accessibility of the fixation after assembly.
  • the fixation is located inside the connection unit, which comprises a sealed housing, as a result of which the tightness of the fixation plays less of a role.
  • the fixation can be arranged on the connection unit or on its housing. This enables the distance to be adjusted even after the assembly of the Water outlet, however, requires a seal of the fixation relative to the housing.
  • circumferential grooves are provided on the outer circumference of the inner tube, which are arranged at a distance from one another along the longitudinal axis and the fixing can engage in the grooves. This allows the inner tube to be securely fixed with respect to the outer tube.
  • the adjustable lengths of the outflow pipe can be determined by specifying the distances between two adjacent circumferential grooves. For example, the distance between two adjacent circumferential grooves is 1, 2, 5 or 10 millimeters.
  • At least one longitudinal groove is provided along the outer circumference of the inner pipe and at least one projection is provided on the inner circumference of the outer pipe, which projection can be guided in the longitudinal groove.
  • Several such longitudinal grooves can be provided, which allows the outer tube to be aligned at predetermined angles relative to the inner tube, and thus relative to the connection unit.
  • four longitudinal grooves could be distributed evenly over the circumference of the inner tube, which allows the outer tube to be aligned every 90 degrees.
  • At least one seal is provided between the inner tube and the outer tube.
  • the outer tube comprises a line tube and a jacket tube at least partially surrounding the line tube.
  • a material can be selected for the pipe that has the necessary drinking water approval and which can be easily moved on the inner pipe.
  • metal such as cuphin, a lead-free copper material or plastic such as PA can be used for the inner tube and/or for the conduit.
  • the material of the jacket tube can essentially be selected solely on the basis of its visual appearance.
  • metal such as chrome steel or brass or plastic, ceramic or wood can be used.
  • the wall thickness of the cladding material can be relatively small since the cladding pipe has to absorb practically no significant loads. For example, wall thicknesses of 0.5; 1; 1.5 or 2 millimeters possible.
  • the outer tube comprises a connection end, which surrounds the inner tube and the outer tube comprises an outlet end opposite the connection end, on which an operating element is provided.
  • the water can be switched on and off with the control element and/or the Amount of water can be adjusted and/or the temperature can be adjusted.
  • connection unit comprises two, three or more water connections and a mixing unit, with two of the water connections being connected to the mixing unit.
  • Two water connections are usually provided, one of which is a cold water connection and one of which is a hot water connection. Additional connections can be provided for filtered water, disinfectant, boiling water or sparkling water.
  • connection unit comprises a display unit which is designed to be essentially flush with the panel.
  • the temperature or the outflow duration can be displayed on the display unit.
  • the current flow or the integration of flow programs such as for hygiene, cleaning or the like can be displayed.
  • the figure 1 shows a schematic perspective view of a water outlet according to the invention.
  • the water outlet includes a connection unit 4 with two connections 41, for example for hot and cold water.
  • the connection unit 4 comprises a mixing unit 42 in which hot and cold water can be mixed with one another.
  • a screen 44 is provided which encloses an outer tube 2 .
  • the panel 44 is integrated in a display 43 and embedded in it essentially flush.
  • a control element 210 which can be rotated about a longitudinal axis L of the pipe is arranged at the outlet-side end of the outlet pipe 2 .
  • the flow rate can be changed by pressing or by pressing for a long time.
  • the water temperature can be changed by turning the operating element 210 clockwise or counterclockwise.
  • the figure 2 shows a side view of the water outlet figure 1 without the housing of the mixing unit 42.
  • a fixation 3 in the form of a screw is provided on the outer tube 2.
  • the screw 3 can be screwed into a threaded hole provided for this purpose in the outer tube 2 .
  • the outer tube 2 can be displaced on the inner tube 1 along the longitudinal axis L in such a way that the screw 3 comes to rest between the connecting plate 40 and the screen 44 .
  • the figure 3 shows a side sectional view of the water outlet figure 1 through the longitudinal axis L of the outflow pipe.
  • the inner tube 1 is arranged on a side of the connection plate 40 of the connection unit 4 which is directed towards a user.
  • the inner tube 1 is screwed onto a threaded sleeve arranged on the connecting plate 40 .
  • the inner tube 1 At its connection end 10, the inner tube 1 comprises a thickening and an end flange.
  • a threaded bore extends in the area of the connecting end 10 through the flange and the thickening.
  • the inner pipe 1 comprises a plurality of circumferential grooves 12 which are arranged at a distance from one another along the longitudinal axis L on the circumference of the inner pipe following the thickening. in the In the assembled state, the circumferential grooves are evenly distributed in an area adjoining the thickening up to the panel 44 .
  • two spaced-apart sealing grooves are provided, in each of which a seal 13 is provided.
  • the seals shown are O-rings. However, other commercially available round seals can also be used.
  • the outer pipe 2 comprises a pipe 22 which can be displaced along the longitudinal axis L with its inner diameter on the outer diameter of the inner pipe 1 .
  • the inner diameter is defined by a bore which extends from a connection end of the outer tube 2 in the direction of an outlet end 21 .
  • the pipe 22 is closed.
  • a lateral opening is provided in the pipe 22 through which the water can flow out of the outer pipe.
  • the line pipe 22 is partially surrounded by a jacket pipe 23 .
  • the line pipe 22 has a peripheral collar on its connection side, against which the jacket pipe 23 strikes.
